[SOLVED] New to compiz, how do I use screenshot plugin?

I feel like an idiot for asking, but I just haven't been able to get the screenshot plugin to work, do I need some other program for it?
It says I hit super (windows?) key & mouse button 1, correct? but it does nothing. Anyways I just thought I would give compiz a try (all the kids are doing it these days) and the screenshot plugin looked like it would be cool, if it actually worked.

you need to specify directory first so it can place the screen shot you took. also it does by you selecting an area by holding super button and selecting with left mouse button not the whole screen tongue

Is the screenshot plugin supposed to do something fancy with the screenshot? I'm not being snarky, that's a serious question. I have it enabled but super+button 1 doesn't do anything. Hitting the print screen key does take a screenshot and bring up the little dialog to save it, though. When I don't have the screenshot plugin enabled, I don't think that happens.

K, thanks cookie, didn't realize I had to hold and drag to select the area I want to capture, works just fine when I do that smile
